Software:

• Buzzsprout
• Auphonic
• GarageBand / Logic Pro

Equipment:

• Started w/ a Blue Yeti (but don't recommend)
• If starting today: ATR2100 or Samson Q2U (USB & XLR)
  • I have a separate article specifically for dynamic mics if you want to check it out

Start using USB if you're solo.

Then you can upgrade the audio quality simply by adding an audio interface and using the XLR connection.

A further upgrade is to add a Cloudlifter CL-1 or Cloudlifter Z

What I Use Now:

• Rode Procaster Microphone
• Cloudlifter Z
• Rodecaster Pro / Rode AI-1 Mixer / Interface
• Audio Technica ATH-M50X headphones
• Heil PL2T Boom Arm
• Electronic Standing Desk
• 27" 5K iMac (bought RAM aftermarket and saved $400)
• Second Monitor: Asus 1080p for < $150
